Meg White |
She is not the older sister of The White Stripes band
mate Jack White, as we were originally lead to believe. Rather, Megan Martha White, born
in Detroit on December 10, 1974, is Jack Gillis White's former wife and current drummer.
Meg's drumming style is unique in its simplicity, and Jack has often stated that this
simplicity is essential to the White Stripes' childlike aesthetic. Meg White
has also acted as an occasional vocalist for the band, notably with the track "In the
Cold, Cold Night" on the 2003 album "Elephant".
Meg made her big screen debut with the Jim Jarmusch anthology Coffee and Cigarettes
(2003). The White Stripes concert film White Stripes: Under Blackpool Lights (2004) offers
an opportunity to see Meg behind the drum kit. |
